Reviews

“Our bucket truck was purchased from Drake-Scruggs many years back. That was purchased before I got here and I’ve been in this company for 11 years. That’s why I had them do the annual inspection and testing on it. They know the vehicle. —- We also have Drake-Scruggs do the annual inspections on our other man lifts. They contact me, tell me when they’re coming, come down and do their thing and away they go. It’s pretty painless for me. Overall, they’re accommodating as far as getting my annual inspections done. They try to work with me.”
